Mansfield of Montana proposed that the Democrats arm themselves with four assistant whips to aid Louisiana's Russell Long, the Democratic whip. He recommended Maryland's Daniel Brewster, Michigan's Philip Hart, Hawaii's Daniel Inouye and Maine's Edmund Muskie. Democrats gave unanimous approval to both plan and candidates. Some saw Mansfield's move as an attempt to put a brake on the runaway ambitions of Louisiana's Long, who also takes over the duties of chairman of the Finance Committee this session and is believed by some Democrats to have...
With his wife on one arm and $1,500 in a plastic bag under the other, he plunked down the electoral filing fee in Little Rock nearly four months before the legal deadline. Winthrop is bound and determined that the boy from Greazy Creek, Governor Orval Faubus, will never again defeat him the way he did in the 1964 gubernatorial race.

...Ford clan turned up in strength, and the whole thing could not have been more urbane. Mother Anne Mc Donnell Ford arrived on the arm of her current escort, Ted Bassett, a kind of all-purpose man about town who posed for photographers between Christina and Henry. Uzielli's parents, also divorced, were there too. Mama was wearing a Balenciaga, and Papa, who works with Gianni at stockbroking, was squiring his second wife. At evening's close, as the last of the Piper Heidsieck '59 bubbled away, Henry pronounced himself well pleased. "Great party, eh?" he inquired...
